The “Long Lost” Will
The sudden appearance of a new will that post-dates and supersedes all other wills is all too common. Amazingly, these wills often leave large portions of the testator’s estate to the person who found them, and typically, only a photocopy of the will can be located. Many of these wills are proven to be fabricated with the cut-and-paste method. The fabricated and forged “Mormon Will” of Howard Hughes is a prime example of a long lost will, although the Mormon Will did not involve the use of photocopiers.
